DOC

Get in there early because you can almost always expect a long queue at DOC. Our favourites include the Pizza ai Porcini which is topped with wild mushrooms, truffle oil and mozzarella with grated pecorino or the Capricciosa Nuova which is a combination of San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, anchovies and olives. If you’re looking for a meatier option, try the Pizza Tiger Prawns and Pizza Speck.

+39

Owner Remo Nicolini matched this prefix of +39 for international calls to Italy. The pizza dough is puffed by a roaring pizza oven, providing the perfect base for combinations such as the Crudaiola – a heaven of goodness that consists of hand torn buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto do parma on a bed of marinated roma tomatoes, rockets and parmesan!

Lazerpig

At the heart of Lazerpig there is a passion for food, music, people and party. Sourdough wood fired pizza made with the freshest and finest ingredients, this place is a pizzeria in a bluestone Collingwood pub with a vibrant crowd. They nail a cracking Queen Margherita and Mary Hadi A Little Lamb that’s for sure!

A25 Pizza

Gourmet pizza served in a chic, modern space with an open kitchen and streetside seating. A25 Pizza presents their pizzas with a twist, adding loads of experience and relentless passion to provide delicious handcrafted pizzas for everyone! According to A25, ‘Pizza is Sexy’ and heck yes it’s true.
